Springer: Chinese Celebrations, String Quartet

Category: String Quartet ** Title: Chinese Celebrations ** Arranger: Matt Springer ** Publisher: Khach-22 ** Comments: Music of Lee Chun-Ping, Su Wen-Ching and Chen Ju-Chi.

Matt Springer's two string quartet arrangements of Chinese music are designed to let a western string quartet play the music in authentic Chinese style, even if the players are not already familiar with the style. Because he plays both western violin and Chinese erhu, Springer has been able to use standard ornaments and non-standard but intuitive symbols to instruct the players on how to play the music.

Includes: Fen Yang Flower Drum Song * and Joyous Festival.
